Errol Milner Clifford 2006-2009

Errol Milner Clifford was born with a significant heart defect and a cognitive disability that prevented him from walking or talking. As we grieved the child we had anticipated, Errol’s full-bodied smile and irrepressible laugh turned our sorrow into joy, and taught us that many of the best things in life are unexpected. Inspired by Errol’s delightful spirit, friends, family, and neighbors rallied to support our family’s significant emotional, physical, and financial needs, through countless acts of selfless generosity. When Errol’s courageous heart finally failed him on December 23, 2009 we were left numb with grief. In these dark hours we listen hopefully for the echoes of Errol’s brilliant laugh. This blog is the story (starting from present and working back to Errol's birth) of the life and times of the amazing Errol Clifford.

Errol's new chair


Errol has a new chair! Hooray. His new chair gives him support and mobility, but most importantly, it gets great gas mileage. Errol's wonderful new ride has lots of cool features: rear defrost, surround sound, eject button; but the best function is a lever that lets us turn Errol around so that he faces us when we push him. He loves it and so do we. Here's a video of Errol in his sweet new ride. I think you'll see how much we all love it.

Acupuncture update
Since Errol's acupressure session on Monday, three separate people have commented on the remarkable progress Big Errol is making. None of these people knew about Errol's acupressure treatments, but they all agreed that he seemed dramatically more strong, well developed, active, liberal, and generally with it. It's hard to pin down exactly what's changed in Errol, but we feel that, the acupressure is at the heart of Errol's transformation. See for yourself.
